I have a 1985 suzuki jr50, it's a 49cc mini dirt bike. I got it off a guy, he didn't know if it ran or not. It has compression and spark, got a new spark plug for it. It wouldn't start untill i sprayed some starter fluid in it and even then it only starts for a few short seconds. If i pour a lil gas in the cylinder it fires up until the gas runs out. The gas line is clear. pulled the bowl off the bottom of the carb and gas is getting in there but just seems like its a steady drip or a very slow stream really (dont know if thats how its supposed to be or not). Any way it wont stay running or really even start. What could this be. P.S. its kickstart only no electric start or battery. PLEASE HELP!
